Oxygène 7–13 (known as "Oxygène 2" on the Oxygène Trilogy box set) is the twelfth
Background
Oxygène 7-13 is dedicated to his mentor at the
The excitement of being able to work on sounds in a tactile, manual, almost sensual way is what drew me to electronic music in the first place ... The lack of limitations is very dangerous. It is like the difference for a painter of getting four tubes with four main colours or being in front of a computer with two million colours. You have to scan the two million colours and when you arrive to the last one you have obviously forgotten the first one.

Release
Oxygène 7-13 was released in February 1997.[7] "Oxygène 7", "Oxygène 8" and "Oxygène 10" were released as singles. A number of remixes of Oxygène 7–13 tracks were made, including those comprising most of the album Odyssey Through O2. The Orb's "Toxygene" was originally going to be a remix of "Oxygène 8". However, The Orb "obliterated it" and reassembled only a few fragments for their new song.[8] The album was followed by a promotional indoor European tour,[7] and a concert in Moscow, Russia in which he would break for the fourth and last time his record for the largest audience in an open-air concert with a total of 3.5 million.[9]
